About Picled cabbage

Pickled cabbage is a fermented dish made by preserving cabbage in a brine solution composed of water, salt, and often spices. Originating from various cuisines—such as sauerkraut in Germany and kimchi in Korea—it is a staple in many cultures. Rich in probiotics due to the fermentation process, pickled cabbage provides beneficial bacteria that support gut health. It is low in calories, typically containing around 10-15 calories per 100 grams, while being a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and small amounts of fiber. The preparation retains nutrients while enhancing flavors, and its versatility makes it a common accompaniment to meals worldwide.

Health Benefits

• Promotes gut health due to the presence of probiotics formed during fermentation, which help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
• Supports immune function, as 100 grams of pickled cabbage provides approximately 20% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C.
• Contributes to bone health with vitamin K, which is critical for calcium absorption and bone mineralization.
• Aids digestion through dietary fiber, which adds bulk to stool and promotes healthy bowel movements.
• May reduce inflammation due to compounds like lactic acid bacteria and antioxidants present in fermented cabbage.

What are the health benefits and concerns of eating pickled cabbage?
